Accounts Receivable Securitization [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable Securitization [Text Block]	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION On July 23, 2009, the Company entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (the "Securitization Program") with several of its wholly owned subsidiaries and Bank of America Securities, LLC ("Bank of America"). The Company renewed the Securitization Program on July 22, 2010 and, most recently, on June 13, 2011 with Bank of America, as Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") and PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") as Managing Agents (together, the "Committed Investors"). The Securitization Program is a three-year program, expiring June 13, 2014, and under the terms of the Securitization Program, the subsidiaries sell certain eligible trade accounts receivables to a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity ("SPE"), Perrigo Receivables, LLC. The Company has retained servicing responsibility for those receivables. The SPE will then transfer an interest in the receivables to the Committed Investors. Under the terms of the Securitization Program, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and PNC have committed $101,750, $55,500 and $27,750, respectively, effectively allowing the Company to borrow up to a total amount of $185,000, subject to a Maximum Net Investment calculation as defined in the agreement. At June 30, 2012, $185,000 was available under this calculation. The interest rate on any borrowings is based on a thirty-day LIBOR plus 0.45%. In addition, a facility fee of 0.45% is applied to the $185,000 commitment whether borrowed or undrawn. Under the terms of the Securitization Program, the Company may elect to have the entire amount or any portion of the facility unutilized. Any borrowing made pursuant to the Securitization Program will be classified as debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The amount of the eligible receivables will vary during the year based on seasonality of the business and could, at times, limit the amount available to the Company from the sale of these interests. As discussed in Note 8, concurrent with the closing of the Paddock acquisition on July 26, 2011, the Company borrowed $85,000 under its Securitization Program to partially fund the acquisition. At June 30, 2012 and June 25, 2011, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Securitization Program.
